I Recommend This Haunted Tour! - We just went on the Walk With Spirit SF Haunted Pub Crawl with Jamie as our guide. I love all things scary and this tour exceeded my expectations! Jamie made the tour. His knowledge of history and in particular, haunted history was amazing… he is a great story teller! If you’re looking for a good haunted experience with the added plus of a pub crawl, this is your tour. Thanks Jamie!

So much fun! - I had a great evening on this pub crawl! The stories were super engaging, the stops were interesting, and I ended up learning a lot about San Francisco’s darker history. Fun, informative, and definitely worth checking out!

Fun way to experience San Francisco - Had a great time checking out a few different places around San Francisco. Each bar was very different, so it was cool to get a variety. We ended the night in China Town when the tour ended, and our group was having such a good time we stayed and had some more drinks!

Get Out There, Get After It, and Get Spooky - This haunted pub crawl is one of the most unique experiences in SF. The tour winds through four bars (where you can grab a drink and some food) and several other spots -- most are haunted, and all have a rich and eerie history. Our tour guide, Jamie, was a great storyteller and consummate SF expert. He engaged with all of the guests, welcomed any and all of our questions, and had knowledge about SF far beyond just the tour's spooky stories. I recommend this tour to tourists and Bay Area locals alike. You're sure to have a fun evening and learn something new.

Fun for locals too! - We are a group of locals and booked a private tour for a birthday. We had so much fun!! Very cool to do something different and learn some interesting things about our city over some drinks. Jamie was our tour guide and was awesome. Everyone wants to do it again!

Not good - Pub tour but the tour guide was “California sober” and explained how drinking is worst then the pot he smokes which might be true but he seemed kind of aloof and high during our tour.. Also, I asked couple questions and he literally made up answer to one of my questions (I took another walking tour and found out real answer). Last thing, the guide was super loud so people would look at us when in a bar and he would rudely point them out saying he knew they were just looking at us because they wanted to be at our table. My eyes rolled with theirs. I rarely give bad reviews but can’t recommend this one.
